Your complete guide from Bengaluru’s trusted diagnostic experts at TruScan, JP Nagar. If there is one test that quietly saves thousands of lives every day in India, it is the CBC Test (Complete Blood Count). Simple, quick, affordable, and incredibly insightful, the CBC test is often the first investigation a doctor suggests when something feels wrong.

Whether you're searching for a CBC test near you, a reliable diagnostic centre, or same-day reporting, this guide explains everything you need to know in a clear and easy way.

What Is a CBC Test and Why Is It Important?

A CBC test checks three crucial components of your blood:

  • Red Blood Cells (RBCs) – carry oxygen
  • White Blood Cells (WBCs) – fight infections
  • Platelets – help in clotting

A CBC test helps detect infections, anemia, inflammation, allergies, blood disorders, and early signs of immune issues. It requires only one blood sample but provides significant insights.

What Does a CBC Test Detect?

Here is what the CBC test reveals about your health:

  • Anemia (Low Hemoglobin): Causes tiredness, pale skin, dizziness.
  • Infections (High WBC Count): Confirms viral or bacterial infections.
  • Immunity Strength: Detects low immune activity.
  • Platelet Problems: Low platelets increase bleeding risk; high platelets increase clotting risk.
  • Nutritional Deficiencies: Indicates possible iron, B12, or folate deficiency.
  • Inflammation or Allergies: Eosinophils rise during allergies.
  • Blood Disorders: Helps identify serious conditions early.
